Bitstream Vera was designed by Jim Lyles of Bitstream, Inc., in cooperation with the Gnome Foundation as a high quality scalable free font for use with free open-source software [4]. The Bitstream Vera family includes serif, sans serif, and monospaced fonts,1 and all three fonts have normal, oblique, bold, and bold oblique faces.

Font specific attributes, such as bold, italic and case can be used in knowledge mapping and information retrieval to encode additional data in texts, lists and labels to increase data density of visualizations; encode data quantitative data into search lists; and facilitate text skimming and refinement by visually promoting of words of interest. 1 Why Font Attributes? Information visualization...

We compared reading speed with two fonts, Dutch (serif) and Swiss (sans serif). Text was displayed on a computer monitor, white letters on black, with the RSVP method. Luminance of the letters was either 146.0 or 0.146 cd m-2. Lower-case x-height of the fonts was approximately 5.5 times as large as letter acuity. At the high luminance, there was no difference between reading rates. There was a ...

At the previous TEX Users Group meeting we described a program to revisit the long-standing dicta of typography from the point of view of experimental science [9]. Indeed, any practitioner of the art “knows” that serif fonts are better for continuous body copy, while sans serif fonts are better for the texts intended to be read in chunks, like advertisements, that optimal line sizes are based o...

A summary of closeouts collected by the Iowa State University Feedlot Monitor software from fall 2018 through summer 2019 is provided on feedlot heifers, steers, mixed pens, white fat cull cows, dairy beef and preconditioning cattle when numbers these groups were adequate.

Noise models are crucial for designing image restoration algorithms, generating synthetic training data, and predicting algorithm performance. However, to accomplish any of these tasks, an estimate of the degradation model parameters is essential. In this paper we describe a parameter estimation algorithm for a morphological, binary image degradation model. The inputs to the estimation algorith...

In this paper we present some exploratory studies of emotion words basedon large annotated corpora Portuguese. Those were automaticallyannotated with emotionality, and each word was assigned one or moregroups out 26 groups. Our goal is to evaluate those groups byapplying different statistical approaches our material, namely based on (a)co-occurrence in a sentence as sign closeness meaning, (b) ...

In this study, legibility of web pages which are designed for instructional purposes were compared according to font types and foreground/background color combinations. Three different font styles which are sans-serif (Verdana), serif (Times New Roman) and monotype (Courier New) were used. 15 background/foreground color combinations were investigated; basic colors that are available on most bro...
